This is a insightful movie thats fascinating and at times rather poignant, funny, sad and a somewhat revealing docu/movie about Ginger Baker the cantankerous and curmudgeonly drummer who played with Cream, Blind Faith, Hawkwind and many others ... a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon IMHO nsfw has plenty of swearing and adult themes [video=youtube;7obsE0DNHAQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7obsE0DNHAQ[/video]
Was he in Ginger Baker's Hair Farce? I half remember seeing them at Leeds. Dozens on stage it seemed. And then he went blind and found God. My memory is a bit hazy, I may have had a ginger ale before the gig.
Ginger Bakers Air force had Steve Winwood on keys and vocals mate ...the blind and God bit I don't know about ...it's most likely drugs
Absolutely right but there were about twenty members including Rik Grech and they all seemed to be on stage when I saw them. The Blind Faith thing was a bit odd. I got the impression they got together and made it up as they went along rather than over prepare.
love a bit of winwood me like [video=youtube;ZB17fxcVXNA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB17fxcVXNA[/video]
Blind Faith did make song cracking songs imo ... tbf most of the members we're of their trolley at the time one of my favs [video=youtube;nTJYkjrg594]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJYkjrg594[/video]
here's a 3 minute trailer/taster of the above film [video=youtube;wqrigN8jxj8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqrigN8jxj8[/video]
You bastard......I thought I'll just put it on for a few minutes before I go to bed......90mins later And the end credits are rolling. Seriously though, thanks for posting it as I really enjoyed it. I've always liked nut jobs like Hunter S Thompson, and now I know that Ginger's on par with him.
I agree mate he's some character, the music business nowadays seldom produce or encourage 'nut jobs' like Baker ...glad you enjoyed it mate
